Excellent food, style, decor and atmosphere. We had a group of 6 out last night and ordered the banquet menu for 6. Great value, great variety, all fresh, good quality and more than enough food!

This restaurant never fails to provide a great service, delicious meals and a friendly and attentive atmosphere. May (I think is the Manager’s name) is really sweet. Excellent customer service, fantastic selection of beautiful dishes promptly brought to the table and quite good prices. If you are in a party of 4 or more, I would highly recommend this and you will keep going back.

it was terrible.
My wife and I had dinner there on a Sunday night.
We ordered 2 entrees and 2 mains, plus hot rice and “Chinese” vegetables.
All the dishes were delivered one by one in seemingly random order.
All the dishes were on cold plates.
My wife ordered spicy spring rolls (entree) and Spicy Chinese prawns (main). What she got was reheated frozen stuff that you can get in any supermarket chiller. The type of pre prepared, frozen stuff that you and I would re heat as an easy snack for dinner guest entrees. BUT, not what we would expect in a genuine Chinese restaurant. The side sauces were (supermarket) Thai Chilli and Hoisin.
The rice was served cold, sticky and late.
The Chinese vegetables were flat, and tasteless, served very late.
I could go on and on, but honestly, this was the worst Chinese cuisine we have ever been served – you would get a better, more authentic Chinese meal at the local Foodcourt.

We went for a work dinner, 19 people, and although the food was good, what little there was of it. The banquet meal we ordered was very mega, not even a main meal per person, or even rice between two. It was disappointing that we had booked in advance, with no.s and our seating was at two separate tables, and even when we pushed the tables together, it was not really very organised. Very disappointing, we paid a good price and spent a reasonable amount and most people came away HUNGRY – not a good deal or a memorable experience for our party
